Dear Ronnie, PLEASE READ MY MAIL CAREFULLY AND GET BACK TO ME URGENTLY
Thanks for your response, it is important that you understand the reason why I contacted you before we proceed. My bank(LLoyds Bank) mandated me to search for the supposed next of kin to late Mr. Raymond Wilbourn and through my search over one year I realized that he has no next of kin to lay claims to his fund and none was mentioned in all his bank documents with my bank.
My intention is to front you to my bank as the next of kin to late Mr. Raymond Wilbourn because you share the same last name with him, this is to enable my bank transfer his funds to you as his (WILL) beneficiary. All legal documents that will officially proof that you are the next of kin to the decease will be carefully worked out by me and I will send them to you with instruction on how to apply for the release of the fund to you.
Within the next 14 days from today, if I fail to provide the next of kin to the decease, his fund will be declared as unclaimed bill and subsequently transferred to the government treasury as unclaimed bill.
To avoid such an ugly incident from happening I am contacting you to have you stand as his next of kin. This transaction will not require your presence here in the bank, all you have to do is to follow my directives carefully and within the next ten days from the date you officially apply as the next of kin to the decease, the funds will be paid to you.
The situation is like this, you will establish direct communication with the bank asking them to transfer the funds to you as the beneficiary to the decease. You will do this with the help of the legal documents that I will be sending to you. From there we will proceed. If my proposal is fully acceptable by you, kindly indicate your willingness to fully co-operate with me to enable us proceed.
As the personnel manager of the Facts Finding with the Claims Department Lloyds TSB. London, I assure you that the fund will paid to you and the sharing between us will be 45%-45% for both of us and 10% we will donate to charity.
Your urgent response is anticipated.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr.Teddy
